Both are perfect when I’m in the mood for neutral eyes with a sassy kick. I’m wearing them on my eyes right meow in the top pic.

Comment To Win The Chocolate Bar Palette and a Tube of Better Than Sex Mascara by Too Faced Cosmetics [FIVE WINNERS] / Originally published June 4th, 2014

Karen, this is an awesome giveaway! With all of the Too Faced products I own, two that I have yet to pick up are the Chocolate Bar palette and the Better Than Sex Mascara! I would love to try them both out with all of the wonderful things I’ve heard about both! Thanks for the giveaway!

I’m just going to jump right in to this because not only does that palette smell amazing, and I have an addiction to both chocolate and neutral colors, But I’ve heard great things about that mascara!!

As for eyelash woes…I have to share because…ugh…. the outer-corner eyelashes on my right eye are SO FREAKING ANNOYING. Like they’re short, but curled up and in, to where I can never get at them with my mascara wand and I can’t coat them or make them look nice, so when I put on mascara on my eyes, my right eye always looks like it has a bald patch by my outer corner. It makes me sad. Yet somehow, the rest of my eyelashes can’t keep a curl to save their lives… I think I was cursed by the lash gods. Am I the only one who deals with this? please tell me I’m not.

You’re one of the legit sweetest makeup bloggers out there, Karen! Thank you for all the frequent giveaways that you do. 🙂 I love your blog and have been a long-time lurker. I’ve never entered one before but hey, here goes. 😀

“If you’re a bird, I’m a bird.” Funny they had him say that line seeing as how his last name IS Gosling. Hope I win! Never have had much luck with these types of things but I’m keeping my fingers crossed! Thanks for the giveaway, Karen!

Funny video!! Laughed outloud, thanks for the chuckle! I so enjoy your posts and look forward to a cup of green tea and a visit with Karen every a.m., as well as a peek again in the evening to see if there’s something new.

A chocolate scented palette hehe. My pups and also my parents Dog are crazy about the steam cream smell on my face for some kind of reason they believe is edible 🙂 sniffing sniffing. A chocolate scented eye-shadows on their mommy’s face will confuse them even more.

Ahh this sounds like the perfect giveaway! I LOVE Too Faced products! I like to stick with Too Faced and Benefit, but man does Too Faced win on shadows and bronzers/blushes!!! They have amazing packaging and names for their products (which is a bonus for those of us who can’t resist packaging pros!). I haven’t tried this mascara, but I’m on the hunt for something new after breaking up with Dior Show after years of use. I’m interested in the shape of that applicator, too. I wonder how the hourglass shape works on the eye. It’s still a full applicator brush, so that’s a definite win! I never have a lot of fallout with Too Faced products (unlike Urban Decay). AHHHH I want the both of these!!!

Cool giveaway!! I myself am having eyelash woes, in that it is crazy allergy season here in the twin cities and have not been wearing much eye makeup. First world problems? Yes. It’s still driving me bonkers though! 🙂

Ooh I have been eyeing the chocolate bar palette. I keep going back and forth whether to buy it! Love the smell of the chocolate soleil bronzer. This palette sounds amazing. I would sniff it nonstop lol.

I would love to recreate your look with this sweeeeet Too Faced palette & mascara!!! I’ve been eyeing both products for a while now. & oh Jeannie’s facial expressions were hilarious. Loved the room set up!

The video is hilarious! Don’t know why, but the only thing Two Faced I use is the shadow insurance. But a girl can never have too many neutral shadows/palettes, especially if it smells like chocolate! LOL- if anyone thinks mascara is better than sex, you aren’t doing it right 🙂

i’m going to tell you a story that i’m making up right now. once upon a time there was a dancing chocolate muffin. one day the magical muffin danced its way to a dance studio and wanted to be a dance instructor since the muffin was so amazingly talented at dancing. however, the owners of the dance studios rejected the chocolate muffin and the muffin sued the owners, claiming that it was only rejected because it was chocolate and a muffin. the case made its way up to the supreme court until they ruled that all muffins must be treated equally and must have equal rights in the workplace. EQUALITY FOR ALL MUFFINS! (i’m very tired i’m sorry)

I am totally makeup deficient so maybe a beautiful palette would help? I have completely wimpy lashes and have sort of decided to give up on ever having a full thick set but I’m secretly hoping the magic mascara will walk into my life.

Ahhh I just graduated, and I’m about to go to college in Nashville! This palette would be perfect for everyday wear and on the go! Can this ‘chocolate bar’ be put into my “college survival kit”? 🙂 I’ll be making guys swoon with my killer lashes if I win that mascara too. Can’t wait to tell all my new friends about how awesome you are!

Hey Karen! Do you have any super silly names for Tabs that other people just wouldn’t get if they overheard you casually talking about him? For example, my fiancé and I call our yellow lab puppybutt. I’m sure if our neighbors heard me ask “sweetie, did you give the butt dinner yet?” they would be confused. Hah! This palette looks awesome, btw!

Eyelash woes? The outer lashes on my left eye just won’t let the eyelash curler do its job! I like some major curl with my lashes but those few rebels just refuse to cooperate. Talk about stubborn. Thanks for the giveaway!Miki recently posted … NYX Macaron Lippies Review+Swatches and Color Mixing Tips

O.M.Geeeeeee, Becky! Like, for real, I’ve NEVER tried anything from this line. Sure, I’ve been living under a rock somewhere on a third-world planet (do they exist?!). But whatevs, this would be a great time to rescue me. Sidebar: I LOVE JEANIE MAI!!!!! Did you catch her and her hubby on an episode of Kitchen Cousins on HGTV? If not, I included a link here- City Meets Country Kitchen (thank me lata).http://www.hgtv.com/kitchen-cousins/rustic-luxe-redux/index.html

Isn’t their style together, like, so cute! Seems like they’re a polar-opposite pair made in heaven. Another sidebar, I’d L-O-V-E to have her do my makeup. But in the meantime, a chocolate-smelling palette of neutral eyeshadow, coupled with a tube of mascara that promises to be better than sex will have to do 🙂

Karen! You are my beauty role model. I’m always browsing through your blog. This giveaway is amazing…the Chocolate Bar Palette looks so beautiful. The shades are a playful kind of neutral-I’m especially digging the shimmery ones. And what can I say about Better than Sex? As someone with relatively short lashes that don’t hold a curl, this mascara gives me the amount of oomph that I need. 🙂

Can a chocolate bar be better than sex? Im pretty sure this one could! Love all the colors and the scent it divine!! And does Too Faced actually make a mascara thats not amazing? I haven’t seen one yet!

Every time I see this palette I think about my trip to Switzerland. While there we went to a village in the Alps, there is a famous chocolate factory there, called Maison Cailler. Omg I have to tell you how amazing that tour of the chocolate factory was. They have a tasting room with all chocolate, as much as you can eat. I thought I could eat way more than I did, I think I stopped after nine pieces. But everytime I smell this palette it takes me back to the chocolate tasting room at the Maison Cailler:)

Earlier today I thought I could use an Amazon gift card to purchase a Sephora gift card and I was going to buy this palette with it! But then I found out that Amazon won’t let you purchase a gift card with a gift card…which is really stupid! But now I see this post! I have to at least try to win it instead! Right? I really want this palette!

The chocolate bar palette has been on my list for so long. I can’t justify the money right now but it’s so beautiful. Also, it smells amazing. I had to give one away to my friend for her birthday… Hardest thing I’ve had to part with.

Your posts about falsies lately have been making me want to try them out more often! I always thought of them as something for only special occasions but why does it have to be that way? Rules are made to be broken right?! 😉

Can chocolate be better than “you know what?” Hmm…well, if “you know what” = sex, than I say HECK YEAH: the best chocolate dessert I ever had (during a birthday dinner at The Claremont in the Berkeley/Oakland hills) made me shiver with delight–you know, THAT kind of shiver 😉

Oh my godness that commercial..lol..luv that guys voice.wish mine talked..Ive been needing to get that chocolate bar!! I luuuvve chocolate But been 2 broke to get it other then the kind u eat:( that mascara is the Bomb Diggity!!I’ve about used up my little travel size& haven’t yet made it 2 pick up the full size..luv the non crunchy matte black..best ive tried in a long long time..

I’d really like to have the Chocolate Bar as I’m working on a candy blog! Actually, beauty does play a role in MsCandyBlog.com so I’d be giving Chocolate Bar a happy home where it could live without fear of being eaten!

Too Faced is one of my favorite brands, especially when it comes to eyeshadow palettes! I’ve never been able to try their mascara and I don’t have the money right now to buy the chocolate bar palette, so winning this would be amazing! Neutrals are my go-to eye look and this seems to be packed with great neutral colors!

Wow that palette looks good! I love chocolate so bad, at night I ever go out if bed to get a piece :p. Too bad they don’t sell Too Faced in Holland, love their products! Better than Sex mascara? It has to be amazing then haha!

What a wonderful giveaway – thankyou for hosting it, Karen!Not only would the shadows in this look and smell AMAZING, but part of me really wants this palette for the novelty of its chocolate bar shape.

Imagine the endless number of instagram selfies you could take pretending to ‘eat’ this chocolate bar! LOL! :p

I would love to try this. I was in sephora the other day and couldn’t get near too faced items bc some little girls were crowding around it >~>
I love chocolate so this palette has always grabbed my attention but my budget usually doesn’t have much room
Thank you for an awesome giveaway

I tell ya the crazy names these cosmetics companies are coming up with! Between Too Faced Better Than Sex and Nars Orgasm what will be next!? Would love to try this mascara and I have heard great things about the Chocolate Bar palette. Thx for the giveaway!

Well, I do love cheese. Stinky. Not stinky. It’s all good. Although, on a flight once they served the most disgusting cheese ever. It’s the last cheese I can remember not eating. Lol! It was wrapped in foil and it was just…yikes. Sad day when there is cheese and I can’t eat it.

Hi Karen! Yes. The video is too funny!! It’s a beautiful early morning in St. Petersburg Florida and, after watching the video, I’m ready to enjoy the day. Thank-you for the super awesome giveaway!! I’ve been so looking at this palette but haven’t grabbed it yet. 🙂

I Have Crushing on Too Faced Lash And Lip Products For A Decade Now, I WoulD Love To Get A Chance To Use ThIs Palette! Excuse My Capitalization Errors, Guess My Phone Is Uber Pysched About The Chance To win

I’ve really been wanting to try the palette AND this mascara for a while now.

I would love to win!

I’m going to comment on Game of Thrones since it’s still in my head since Sunday. Was Prince Oberin anyone else’s new favorite character since most of the Starks died and Jon Snow’s storyline went down the drain? I really need to learn that they will get rid of anyone the audience ends up liking. George RR Martin must bathe in his readers’ tears.

My puppy Fargo loves to roll over. I finally taught him to do it on command. It’s too much fun! I need a new trick to teach him now. Like not eating my lipstick. Because yesterday I caught him sniffing the lipstick drawer and that got a big ol’ “heeeeeeeeck no!”Alison M recently posted … Inspired by Victoria’s Secret Model Alessandra Ambrosio

Hi Karen. I’ve been eyeing up this palette for a while now. It looks like it has a lot of really good neutrals but enough fun color with the purple and pink to keep it fun. Thanks for having the contest!

Makeup that smells like chocolate and mascara with that name to combat these short curly eyelashes? YES PLEASE! I’ve been obsessing over the Too Faced line. Great giveaway and I absolutely love your site!!

Hi, I love your blog, although I only comment when needed. I do check it often and appreciate the honest reviews. I am a big fan of the MAC makeup line and like when you review new collections. THanks!

This palette would get so much use if it were mine 🙂 It suits all my favorite color combinations: a khaki/golden eye, a shimmering beige/bronze eye, matte peachy brown eye, and pink/purple soft eye! Oh i so want this palette!

Ok, this my deal, im in LOVE with this mascara combo, Maybelline Rocket and There Real mascara, BUT ive been dying to try the Better Than Sex mascara, I own nothing of Two Facaed anyting!! Please get me out of my comfort zone, Thank You for the chance 🙂

Winning this makeup palette may be as awesome as having a pet dragon. I mean on one hand you would have amazing makeup to play with but on the other hand you can totally pretend to be Daenerys Targaryen. Such a toss up.

I swatched the Chocolate Bar Palette at Sephora a few weeks ago and LOVED it, but with a young kiddo at home my makeup budget is basically $0.00, so I’d love to win this! I’ve heard great things about the mascara, too!!

I’ve been on vacation all this week and while I did bring some makeup with me, I’ve been sans makeup for 6 days so far. I’m already looking forward to being back home and wearing makeup again and this palette would be a great treat!

Hi Karen! I’m so in love with this giveaway, you and t-money have been educating and entertaining me about makeup for a little over a year now.
I’ve been eyeing the chocolate palette since it came out, but I couldn’t justify the expense since I already get my neutral fix with ud’s naked2 palette.

I was fresh out of makeup storage…so i went garage saling, bought cute wall shelves, and painted them color of the year, radiant orchid. they are so cute on the wall, next to my vanity. now i have so much more room to expand my collection!

OMG! I want this bad boy SOOO bad! I ordered it twice and the first time it came with smudges in it. Replacement came with scratched outside and smudges in shadows again! I almost gave up but I look at it and just want it. It’s GORGEOUS!!!!

Beautiful palette! True story: my sister (who is pretty frugal and has been anti-eyeshadow – WHAT – because it tends to melt off her face and she never really knew how to apply it properly on our Asian eyes) saw this palette online a couple of weeks ago and fell for it, hard. I convinced her to immediately head to Sephora to pick it up (after showing her your review of it, too, which made her want it even more lol), plus recommended Too Faced Shadow Insurance. Then she came over to my apartment and I showered her how to best apply a multitude of color combos and now she’s HOOKED (and in love with the Shadow Insurance, too, since it all actually stays in place now). I’m such a bad influencer 😉

I have been looking into buying this palette for a while now. I feel like the hype died down but now everyone is talking about it again. And I love it! It’s just making me more excited to get my hands on this palette. Also, I like that Too Faced slimmed down the packaging. Seems like it would be travel-friendly now. I’m really interested in trying the colors as well. Hope I’m one of the lucky 5 🙂

If really any comment will do, I’d like to tell you that I usually communicate with my husband via meows (or miaos in Italiano). I’m sure you’ve experienced this phenomenon as a cat love yourself. Anyway, I love your blog, and those Too Faced prizes sound wonderful!

Oh my god, that palette! It’s one of the few that I’ve considered getting because it looks like it would actually be visible on my complexion. My skin tone is a little similar to yours (also why I follow your stuff).

I never believed the hype about Too Faced products smelling like chocolate but once I decided to see for myself, this palette smells amazing!! And I’ve heard such great things about the better than sex mascara, even from people who swear by waterproof formulas for those asian lashes! Definitely a must try!

Pick me! Pick me! At least for the palette. I’ve tried the mascara and while they say it may be better than sex, it exploded into a horrible mess in my purse. Sephora was gracious enough to accept it on a return and said that they had gotten MANY returned in the same sorry state. Would one call that a mascaragasm?

I love Too Faced! I own deluxe sized samples, and the Bonjour Summer 2014 palette, and really like it. I’ve always wanted to try the Chocolate Bar palette, and everyone says great things about the Better Than Sex mascara. Awesome video too, funny, and cute love the set up:) Thanks for the opportunity to win:)

I’m not usually lucky, but worth a shot, yes? I do rather hope I win – it would be so awesome to rock a nice neutral look with this palette for my comprehensive exam this mohtn (and you can bet your breeches I’m terrified about it, gulp!)

Oh How amazing! I’ve actually been looking at this palette over the past few days. I know there is a lot of hype around it but its all because its awesome. And the mascara… I feel a lil’ sheepish saying it. HAHA. I’m a goober!Stephanie Burge recently posted … MAC Osbournes Collection Swatches and First Impression

Hey Karen ,
First off this video definitely made me LOL! Thanks for the laugh :]
I have been reading your blog for a while now. I want to say about a year. I never really comment on anything, just read your posts, but maybe I will start to, as the people here seem to be pretty positive which is always good! Your blog is awesome, and having a similar skin tone as you is always helpful with lip swatches or blushes/bronzers especially, as some colors just won’t work for me.
Thanks for the giveaway!

As someone who has had plenty of both…I must say chocolate is better. The sex gave me my precious baby girl, and subsequently no more of “it” in almost 2.5 years. Whereas the chocolate….I can have it ANYTIME I want…even at work…as I type.
So yes, no sex = more time for chocolate eating and makeup wearing/shopping.
~end TMI

I love your site and always use it as a reference before making a final decision on something. This palette looks amazing and I have been looking at it for too long! Thanks for sharing the video.. it is too funny!

I’ve just had someone try to talk me out of Better Than Sex because it flakes so much, but I just can’t give it up. Nothing else has given me the GIGANTIC lashes I love so much, and I’m tired of experimenting. It’s nice to settle down, and flaking isn’t a dealbreaker. 🙂

Wooohooo that is one sweeeeeeeeettttt giveaway!!! I have had my eyes on that palette ever since you first reviewed it, so please please please pick me 😀 Chocolates and something even better than sex, what else does a girl need!

Karen, I love the way you always do these giveaways! I’m a struggling college student (emphasis on struggling at the moment. Why was I so eager to grow up again?!), but I ADORE reading your blog every day! It definitely makes for a nice break. :] And I think my cat and your cat would be BFFs. Seriously.

I’ve been waiting on this palette for the longest!! I have the Lorac PRO, so I’ve been able to convince myself to be good many times over and not get it…but I want it soooo badly! I use only Milk Chocolate Soleil as bronzer for its heavenly chocolaty scent. Your look rocks it…I may have to finally purchase the palette if I don’t win. Fingers crossed!!

I dont have a pet dragon 😉
but my husband called our baby the “sea dragon” the entire time I was pregnant, so we made her middle name “Kaida” for ‘little dragon’ in Japanese. I have been dying to try that Too Faced mascara and that palette seems really interesting! Thanks for the chance to win. 🙂

Thank you in advance for choosing me as one of the five winners. I’m floored that you used your superpowers to know that 1) I’m a chocoholic, 2) I’ve always wanted chocolate smelling makeup, 3) that my birthday is a month away (July 6) so you wanted to give me an early bday present and 4) you thought this prize would make me look even prettier! Thank you again for my prize! I’m humbled and I accept!

Karen! Karen to Karen! haha! and that video, hilarious! and here’s to my first ever comment on your blog! oh my. I stumble upon your blog, like back in 2008, oogling and admiring at the vast selection of make up and skincare in America, all the way from South East Asia. but alas, I am in the Bay Area for good now.. and I am overwhelmed!!! spoilt for choices, and I am lovin’ it!

Random comment: I’m studying for Step 1 of the USMLE, there are no cupcakes in my house and I’m white-knuckling it. On a good day I need a LOT of sugar, but my brain is pretty consistently fried lately and I feel like it’s unfair that I should have to drive to Sprinkles. Like… if they could just drop some by every morning like a milk man from the 1940s. Heaven.

Also, this palette is so pretty, and my dog Basi assures me he will spearhead a North American Feline Canine Peace initiative to throw the odds in our favor (at the very least, he’ll stop chasing cats- a bad habit he picked up from his cousin). Please let Tabs know. Have a good one, y’all.

We are in the process of moving :((. It’s not fun. Right now I’m chilling in the tub with a glass of wine, washing off the dust lol. BTW, I also cannot wait for the new HTTY Dragon movie! The first one is my all time favorite animation movie! I love Toothless :).

Wowzers!! I have been wanting to try that mascara since it came out (mainly for the name hehe) and the chocolate bar palette (again, cause I’ve accepted the fact that I am indeed a chocoholic! And I haven’t seen her show, but I will check it out now! 🙂

HAAII K-Dawg and T-Money!!!! LOL!! The first time I saw this palette at Sephora, I didn’t even swatch it right away, I picked it up and smelled it @__@. I’m amazed at how they can get it to look AND smell equally delicious. and seriously, who wouldn’t want a dragon to travel on top of in the Spring/Summer (be sure to wear lotsa sunblock ehehe) and to light up a fireplace during the colder months (make sure they breathe fire not ice, lol). I’d name my pet dragon Wynston Lazlo…idk why, LOL, sounds good to me!!! 😀

I want to talk about brie! Man, one of my favorite absolutely guilty pleasures is having a solo wine and cheese (and if I’ve been to IKEA, smoked salmon) night and watching absurd movies. Miss Minoes? Yes! Cats! And fancy makeup can only make that better.

Great giveaway – thanks, Karen!!! Random comment time: the closest Sephoras to me are over an hour away, and a brand new one just 15 minutes away is having its grand opening tomorrow morning!!! Guess where I’ll be? I better wear a tank top ’cause these arms will be all sorts of swatched up by the time I’m finished:D Woohoo!

I can’t get eyeliner to stay in the corners of my eyes! This is a serious woe for me. By 10 am I’ve yawned/watery eyed it all away. I’ve tried Lorac eye primer, MAC eye pencil, Stila waterproof eyeliner, Sephora waterproof liner, the list goes on! I’ve CC’ed and powdered and packed eye shadow until I think I have carpel tunnel. Any suggestions?

I love your blog. Thanks to you I got the Sharon Osbourne eye palette and mineralize skinfinish palette and I love them both. I just began to use the Two Faced line. I got the neutral palette and In the Buff lipstick from Beauty.com’s 20%off sale, and two more lipsticks from Sephora’s VIB sale, Nauty Neutral and Honeybear. They are very glossy. I love the Honeybear and In the Buff. Nauty Nude is one of those nudes that has a slight concealer look to it, but most of them do on me. It has some peach in it and was much better than Urban Decay’s Naked 2, which looked like beige paint on my lips. But I have red hair and very pigmented pink lips, so I have to avoid pink in lipsticks, because my lips will add their own. That’s why swatching a color and wearing it are two different things, but its better than nothing. The same thing happens with eyeshadows, they look very different on me than in the pan, but at least I know where to start. Peachy browns are the best color for me overall, eyes, cheeks and lips. My skin adds the pink and I get the perfect color. I’ve also begun to like mauvey browns and plummy colors. I guess they give a little more contrast for a more dressed up look. So this palette would be an amazing way to try a bunch of new colors that seem to be in my comfort zone. Thanks for all your hard work. And I don’t know what it is about animal lovers and makeup lovers, but it must be on the same gene or something. I have noticed that most beauty bloggers are also animal lovers, mostly cats but some dogs. Anywhere from their own pet to organizing animal rescue. I got into the animal rescue business when a stray cat delivered in my backyard eight years ago. She took the kittens away and when she brought them back to eat there was only one left. The next year both of them got pregnant. That’s when I learned about Trap, neuter and release. We found the two litters, the first one was dying when we got to them. I turned my Nanny’s room into a kitten nursery and socialized both litters and got them adopted. Only one would not leave us, she acted so badly at any adoption fair that they always sent her back to us. That’s my Tabby (short for Tabitha, the teenage witch, because she was not an easy one to tame!) But she is seven now, and our beloved baby. From then on, I spayed and neutered any cat that walked into our backyard, and socialized five more litters of kittens. There is only one fertile female left in our neighborhood, she will not go into a trap, and tonight she just brought me three gorgeous long haired kittens. They are about 6 weeks old. Now none of the cats in my backyard are really strays anymore. Even this Mom lets me pet her now. And any kittens that didn’t get adopted (and it gets harder everytime) stay inside for one year and them get a collar (of course they are spayed, neutered and vaccinated) and they get to go outside. I have a window they can go in and out of so they always have shelter in that downstairs room. Its now a cross between a kitten nursery and a homeless shelter. My daughter had a friend over this weekend and she showed her the room. She said, “OH, its like a cat hotel!” To me that was the greatest compliment. We are allergic, so they cannot have the run of the house. They get the best of indoor and out, but I always worry about them. The best is when the kittens can get a good home, but its not easy. We’ve saturated our friends, and its hard to trust strangers after reading some horror stories about Craig’s List. But we use facebook, pet finders.com and use our best instincts. I’ll see if I can get some pix of the new guys on one of the blogs. Anyway, I thought that was an interesting duality of interests. It certainly blows away the notion that just because we like to play with makeup that we are materialistic and superifical. Quite the opposite, I think of us more as artists, the fum is in the creation, getting new tools to create with makes it more exciting. Keep up the amazing work. Give my love to Tabs the cat from my Tabby the cat, and wish the new kittens luck on taming fast so they can get forever homes. If they don’t, they will always be welcome here! Its getting harder and harder to let them go after “raising” them. I think my own kids get a little jealous. But no one can resist those faces. I look forward to hearing from you! Good night.

And let me tell you about my eyebrow woes! I have a fancy lunch tomorrow and my eyebrows need some major love. All they are right now are Unruly, crazy, patchy caterpillars above my eyes. First world MUA problems…..

The Fault in Our Stars shows today in my country, and IDK if I should watch it, I can’t forget the Shailene Woodley issue and that the couple were brother/sister in Divergent haha.cel recently posted … OOTD + updates | New York 2014

Mmmm…chocolate! I was actually just chomping into a dark chocolate and sea salt chocolate bar when I saw this post! Coincidence? I’m a sucker for all things chocolate…dark is my favorite but I’ll take milk if thats what’s around. I’m not a white chocolate girl though…not a fan of the taste which is fine since darker chocolate is actually better for you. Dark chocolate in small amounts is actually good for you I hear…so I use it as an excuse to break into my chocolate stash every week…that’s my story and I’m sticking to it! *omnomnom* Back on topic though, I loooooove a good neutral eye and that palette looks amazing! I’m curious about the mascara too. That commercial was hysterical! I’ve only used one brand of mascara my whole life but I’d like to try some others and this one has my attention! I hope you pick me! *fingers crossed*

I met my boyfriend two years ago while I was in a relationship with someone else. At the time I was trying hard to maintain my destructive relationship so we remained friends. This May, he and I finally got together and we have the best relationship I’ve ever imagined for myself.

I smelled this palette at Ulta a few weeks ago and had to stop myself from taking a bite out of it! Would be awesome to play around with this, heard the color payoff is great considering the strange formulation 🙂

Such a legit giveaway! I have been eyeing this palette and am daydreaming of all the looks that could be born of such pretty colors… and the smell. If it smells anything like the Chocolate Soleil bronzer, I’m in business.

I would LOVE to wear makeup on my face that smells like chocolate 😉 and I’m dying of curiosity to try mascara that’s touted to be better than rolling in the hay. Between the two I suppose life wouldn’t get much better than that! HAHAHAHA

Everytime I go I to Sephora I swatch this palette but have yet to take the plunge and purchase it and I don’t know why. The colors are lovely and pigmented. I want this palette now! ~ Thank you for the giveaway!

Seeing as I love all things chocolate, I simply must have this! 😀
I look forward to your blog everyday, Karen! ::fangirl scream::
Not only do you make me aware of all the awesome cosmetics I need to get my hands on, you make me smile and laugh on a daily basis.
Signed,
Another CCL4L!! 🙂

I’m trying very hard to not get addicted to Too Faced products; I’ve got their Bonjour Soleil bronzer set as well as their Natural Radiance face palette and I love them both. I’ve been eyeing this palette too, but I’m not much for eye makeup, but a free one? Yes please.

I have been drooling over that palette for ages! And what a way to come back to reading you girl (art school, two majors, final semester…AUGHHHHH!). To say I’ve missed you and Tabs would be an understatement. I’m not the biggest fan of the mascara but I have a friend who’d love to try it. She had to leave school for medical reasons but I meet up with her once a week or so to hang out and give her sanitized beauty stuff that didn’t work for me, or fresh stuff from kits that I already know I don’t like. She’d love to try that! Hope you and the majestic Tabs are doing well! 😀

I have had my eye on this palette for awhile, being new to wearing eyeshadow and all I thought this one has some great shades for really simple looks! I, too, have smelled it and YOWZA it smells divine! I have not ventured beyond the 1 eyeshadow-at-a-time look so usually the colors I have used are soft neutrals that venture to the pinky or purply side. Karen, have you found that this palette works for sensitive skin/ sensitive eyes? It’s a spectacular giveaway! I love tuning into the blog and thanks to you found myself the owner of the Beauty Blogger favorites set from Too Faced with a little nod to you on it! You go, girl!

Too Faced has come to kill us all manic makeup for once! Joined two world passions all in one product, chocolate + palette = much love!
And that mask eyelashes? In addition to being named one of the best to enhance the look, and it challenges your consumer appealing be better than sex! hahahha

Yeah, I’m pretty glad I was the only one home when I watched that commercial. Having to explain all of the “Oh yeahhhhhhhhhh, baby”s to my mom would have been more than a little awkward. I have to admit that it got me to laugh, though.

Since you mentioned dragons, I’ve been totally curious about dragon’s egg cucumbers since you showed off the Petaluma Seed Bank photos. I totally want to grow some and eat one. Is that weird?

Thanks Karen for the lovely giveaway!! Yay.. I am a palette junkie and I’ve been so excited to try this palette.. To top it off, it smells like chocolate!! Ooh.. And I’ve heard tons of great reviews about the better than sex mascara too! I hope I am one of the lucky 5!

I’ve been dying to try those out! I swatch that palette every time I’m in Sephora. I’ve only ever owned the Too Faced Shadow Insurance so I want to try out some of their other Too Faced products. I love that the palette smells like chocolate!

I would love, love, love to win this giveaway! Too Faced “Better Than Sex” Mascara and “Chocolate Bar” Eye Shadow Collection palette, and no calories!! Just Perfect! This would make a perfect birthday gift for me!!

Thanks for the fun giveaway! I love reading your posts and I love your silliness!! Thanks for adding a little sunshine to your readers’ days! :). I’ve been super curious about both the palette and mascara so I thought I’d give it (this giveaway) the ol’ college try! Thanks again!!

I have a strange obsession with scented things (and makeup!). I was always the kid with scented markers and those stickers that smelled like root beer floats and stuff. I’ve wanted to try this palette for a while now, but I can’t find it!!!
